Adirondack Vets House, Inc.
 About the house:
The Adirondack Vet House, Inc., is a new, transitional living program for homeless veterans located in Glens Falls, New York. The house is newly renovated and can accommodate 9 residents. Residents will have a furnished individual room. The house also has 3 bathrooms, a dining room, living room, and soon-to-be renovated basement. The house is co-ed and handicap accessible.
Each resident will be responsible for the cleaning of the house, cooking of the evening meal, and will be accountable by fair and reasonable rules and regulations.
The location of the house is within walking distance of AA/NA meetings, mental health facilities, and a VA medical clinic. All other appointments can be arranged through a VA van service.
The length of stay for each resident can range from 12-18 months. The cost of this program is minimal. Residents will only pay 30% of their monthly incomes. If the residents do not have any financial resources, then The Adirondack Vets House, Inc. will assist them in obtaining funds for the program.
